遠藤薫
ENDO Kaori
1989年大阪府生まれ、ベトナム・ハノイ／大阪府在住。工芸／美術作家。
沖縄県立芸術大学工芸専攻染織コースおよび、アルスシムラ卒業。生活に根差した工芸の本質を現代美術的な視座から探るべく、テキスタイルに複雑な社会的事実が織り込まれていると考え、布を集め使用と修復の行為を繰り返す。また近年では、沖縄やベトナムを中心とする東アジア各地を訪れ、それぞれの土地の布について調査と蒐集を続けている。主な個展に『重力と虹霓（こうげい）』「第13回shiseido art egg・遠藤薫展」（資生堂ギャラリー、2019年。本展において大賞にあたる第13回shiseido art egg賞を受賞）など。主なグループ展に「Bangkok Biennal 2018『BARRAK : survibes』」（White Line、タイ、2018年）など。
